hi my mom has cancer, and i have told my friends but only reluctantly about it and this was a while ago. I only didnt want to tell them because i didnt want for them to feel sorry for me. i dont need that. I was so sad when she first told my family. I havent cried since excpet when she accidently made me read an article about cancer and it was all about bad stories and unhappy endings, not what i needed to hear. my parents havent ever tried to talk to me about it but i am not the kind of person to talk openly. I try to keep it off my mind and think about what i can do, and try to be helpful. what i can basically. but at a sleepover my friends talked to me about this and they sort of emplied that i wasnt as concerned and sad as i should be. do you think I am handling this well? what do you think i should do? please dont give me something like, just talk to your friends, thanks that'd be great!

Your friends aren't the ones that have to deal with the incident everyday. How you handle it shouldn't be up to them. The way you react towards something cannot be controlled by your friends. You have learned to live with it and that is the best way to take a situation like this. My uncle had cancer and i always felt personally that i wasn't taking it the right way but after he passed a couple of months ago the way i took it gave me more of a chance to see the real him without having ot think about the illness...hope i could help
